At December 31, 2017, the Company had repurchase agreements with an outstanding balance of $1.3 billion and a weighted average interest rate of 2.18%.

As of June 30, 2018, the outstanding balance under our financing arrangements was funded at a weighted average advance rate of 90.2% that implies an average haircut of 9.8%. As of June 30, 2018, the weighted average “haircut” related to our repurchase agreement financing for our Agency RMBS, non-Agency RMBS, and CMBS was approximately 5%, 25%, and 25%, respectively. In the event we are unable to obtain sufficient short-term financing through existing financings arrangements, or our lenders start to require additional collateral, we may have to liquidate our investment securities at a disadvantageous time, which could result in losses. Any losses resulting from the disposition of our investment securities in this manner could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and net profitability. At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had financing arrangements with nine and ten counterparties, respectively. As of June 30, 2018, the Company's only exposures where the amount at risk was in excess of 5% of the Company's stockholders’ equity was to Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch and Jefferies & Company, Inc. at 6.8% and 5.2%, respectively. At December 31, 2017, the Company's only exposure where the amount at risk was in excess of 5% of the Company's stockholders’ equity was to Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch at 5.0%. The amount at risk is defined as the fair value of securities pledged as collateral to the financing arrangement in excess of the financing arrangement liability. As of June 30, 2018, our available liquid assets included unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and unencumbered securities that we believe may be posted as margin. The Company had $84.7 million in cash and cash equivalents and $318.0 million in unencumbered investment securities to meet additional haircuts or market valuation requirements. The unencumbered securities that we believe may be posted as margin as of June 30, 2018 included $177.0 million of Agency RMBS, $98.8 million of CMBS and $42.2 million of non-Agency RMBS and other investment securities. The cash and unencumbered securities, which collectively represent 34.1% of our financing arrangements, are liquid and could be monetized to pay down or collateralize a liability immediately. Financing Arrangements, Residential Mortgage Loans The Company has a master repurchase agreement with Deutsche Bank AG, Cayman Islands Branch with a maximum aggregate committed principal amount of $100.0 million and a maximum uncommitted principal amount of $150.0 million to fund distressed residential mortgage loans, expiring on June 8, 2019. The outstanding balance on this master repurchase agreement as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 amounts to approximately $154.6 million and $123.6 million, respectively, bearing interest at one-month LIBOR plus 2.40% and 2.50%, respectively (4.49% and 4.05% at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively). The Company expects to roll outstanding borrowings under this master repurchase agreement into a new repurchase agreement or other financing prior to or at maturity. The Company also has a master repurchase agreement with Deutsche Bank AG, Cayman Islands Branch with a maximum aggregate committed principal amount of $25.0 million and a maximum uncommitted principal amount of $25.0 million to fund the purchase of residential mortgage loans, expiring on November 24, 2018. The outstanding balance on this master repurchase agreement as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 amounts to approximately $37.9 million and $26.1 million, respectively, bearing interest at one-month LIBOR plus 3.50% (5.59% and 5.05% at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively). The Company expects to roll outstanding borrowings under this master repurchase agreement into a new repurchase agreement or other financing prior to or at maturity. During the terms of the master repurchase agreements, proceeds from the residential mortgage loans, including the Company's distressed residential mortgage loans, will be applied to pay any price differential and to reduce the aggregate repurchase price of the collateral. The financings under the master repurchase agreements are subject to margin calls to the extent the market value of the residential mortgage loans falls below specified levels and repurchase may be accelerated upon an event of default under the master repurchase agreements. The master repurchase agreements contain various covenants, including among other things, the maintenance of certain amounts of net worth, liquidity and leverage ratios. The Company is in compliance with such covenants as of August 6, 2018.
